Emily just got out of her shower when she hears her phone ringing.

She took her phone from the table and answered her call, seeing that her friend from work was calling her.

"Hi, Emily, I hope I'm not bothering you, but could you come and work my shift at 15h today?" Sara asked her.

"I don't think I'll be able to do two shifts tonight. She replays. I have classes tomorrow at college and I need to attend them since science is my major, and I can't miss them," Emily said.

"Please, just this time, Emily. I promise I won't ask you again to do my shift. I'll work double on Monday so you can rest, " Sara said, begging Emily to accept her deal.

"Fine, but just this time," Emily replays' finally agreeing to Sara's deal.

"Thank you, you don't know how much it means to me," Sara said.

"Whatever, "Emily said back, hanging up the phone.

A few hours later

Before Emily leaves the house for work, she makes sure that her dog Sunny has enough food in her bowl, and that anything dangerous in her house's turned off so that there won't be any accident until she gets back.

Emily's Pov

****

I officially hate this day. Right now I'm working a double shift at a bar named Seduction and so far it's full of people dancing, just asking for me or my fellow worker Kevin to refill their drinks.

The bar can be a dangerous place to work at especially when the gangs or important business people come to have their deals in here but I got used to mind my own business so nothing bad had happened to me.

I need this job so I can pay for food, bills, and my college fees so that's why I keep working here.

"Hey, Emily, Can you watch over my customers? Kevin asked me. I need to get more bottles of whiskey and vodka since there are no more. "

"Sure" I replied as he leaves.

I decided to polish some cocktail glasses that are on the shelf. When I hear a man's voice calling me I turned around only to be met by the stunning man with black hair and blue eyes looking at me.

"Miss, did you hear me? I asked if I can get two glasses of gin & tonic? "the man said as I finally come back to my senses.

"Yes, coming right up," I said, turning around, picking up two glasses, adding three ice cubes, then filling the glasses with half gin and half tonic, and last adding lemon slices in the glass.

"Here are your drinks sir," I siad handing the man two glasses he requested. The man drinks two glasses in one go and requests me to give him the same again.

I hand him two more glasses and he again drinks them in one go. I then leave to attend to one more customer that asked me to make our special blue monster cocktails.

As I'm preparing the cocktails I notice that the blue-eyed man is watching my every move as if he's analyzing me and it creeps me out.

When I gave the finished cocktails to the customer, I look back and noticed that the blue-eyed man was not sitting at the bar anymore. He left the money for the drinks on the counter but he also gave me a hundred dollar tip. I took the money and put them inside the cash register.

Kevin came back with boxes of drinks we needed. Both of us continue doing our jobs until it was time to finally close up.

"Goodnight Kevin I'll see you on Tuesday since Sara is replacing me on Monday. "I said leaving the bar.

On my way home I couldn't help but shiver as it's cold at night. Since I don't have enough money to use a bus right now or even buy a car I have to walk all the way until I get to my house.

Although my house is thirty minutes away from my work I live in an area that is not that safe. The house I live in is the cheapest one I could afford to buy so that the rest of the money I can save for other important stuff.

As I walked I felt a weird feeling like someone's following me. Reaching my hose I took out the key and entered the living room where my dog Sunny welcomed me by happily jumping around me.

After a long and tiring day at work, I'm finally home. Thank god tomorrow is the weekend so I don't have to work my shift at the bar.

The kitchen and living room are connected. My kitchen consists of a fridge, stove, sink, and table where I eat my food. In my living room, there's a table in front of the couch, a tv, and a bookshelf with some of my favorite books authors, and my college books.

I went to my bedroom to take a relaxing shower. After a stressful day, the hot shower helped me relax. Stepping out of the shower I got dressed in my pajamas and left towards the kitchen.

I prepared something quick to eat as I didn't have time for dinner tonight.

I opened the fridge, took some leftover pasta, and put it in the microwave. Once the microwave signaled my pasta's done, I took it out and sat down on the chair to eat it.

Taking the first bite of my pasta, out of nowhere, I heard a noise coming from the living room. Since I live alone with my dog Sunny, I thought she broke something, so I left the kitchen to check what happened.

And I was right as my dog was sitting next to a broken vase, but what made me wonder is why the door of my has is open as I clearly remember closing it when I walked in.

I closed the door, taking my dog in my arms since I didn't want him to step on the broken vase.

Going back to the kitchen, I put my dog down, gave her food, then I went to finish mine.

After washing the plate, I noticed that Sunny was not in the kitchen anymore as I can hear her barking at something in my bedroom.

I don't know why Sunny's acting like this, she never barks this much unless she senses a stranger coming near me or her.

I trust my dog's instinct so just in case there's someone in my house I took pepper spray in my hands to defend myself.

I walked inside my bedroom and saw Sunny standing near my bed at barking at it. "Hey Sunny, what's wrong why are you barking this much? " I said, and as if she understood me; she stopped barking.

Even though I'm feeling tired from today's work, I decided to look around my room once again, but since I didn't see any sign of something unusual or someone being in here, I got outside of my room. I was about to walk back towards the living room when I felt a man's strong hand dragging me all the way back inside my room.

I tried fighting him off of me but it was useless as the man held me in his tight grep and I felt a cloth placed over my mouth and nose, I tried to hold my breath but I couldn't stop from breathing it in.

All I could hear is my dog barking trying to save me from whoever is holding me. But the man kicked my dog from him and that was the last thing I saw as I started to feel light-headed allowing darkness to consume me.
